Bike has been sitting for a lot of years start button and stop switch were missing got the start button repaired put the 2 wires together from the stop switch, got the engine to turn over with the start button, plugs won't fire. What I have done so far : Set the points( not in great shape got new ones ordered) but they were good enough to test fire, fixed them with points file, checked for voltage to coil getting about 9 volts, pulled the condenser off to make sure it is getting a good ground ,didn't really know how to check it, pulled points wire off and it does spark to ground but not very strong. Didnt replace coils can't imagine both going out at the same time Never had so much trouble getting fire from a points system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
